Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

With the help of Ling Xiao, Xiao Muchen and his companions successfully repelled the hall master's men. However, their fierce battle and the powerful strength they displayed were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, causing an uproar in the ancient Futu clan. The news spread quickly like a surging tide, and instantly spread to every corner of the ancient clan.

The elders of the ancient Futu tribe were all startled. They gathered together with solemn faces and various thoughts in their minds. The elder hall was tall and majestic, with huge stone pillars that seemed to support the sky. The walls were carved with ancient patterns, telling the glorious history of the ancient Futu tribe. The hall was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere. The huge candlesticks were burning, and the swaying flames reflected the solemn faces of the elders.

Xiao Muchen and the others were not afraid at all. They walked into the awe-inspiring Elders' Hall with firm steps and heads held high. Xiao Muchen walked in front, with an upright posture, sharp eyes, and a fearless aura. Lin Wan'er followed closely behind, with a firm look on her beautiful face. Although the long sword in her hand was not unsheathed, she seemed ready to meet the challenge at any time. Ling Shuang and Ye Feng were on the left and right, with serious expressions and vigilant eyes scanning the surroundings.

"You ignorant fellows, do you know the consequences of causing trouble in the ancient Futu tribe?" An elder took the lead in making trouble. He sat in a high position, his eyes were like lightning, his voice was like thunder, and he tried to overwhelm Xiao Muchen and others with his momentum. The elder had a thin face, and his eyes revealed sternness and dissatisfaction.

Xiao Muchen sneered and looked straight at the elder without any intention of retreating. "We are just fighting back in self-defense. If it weren't for the fact that the hall master coveted the mysterious skills in me and wanted to seize it by force, bullying the minority with his numbers and wantonly provoking fights, how could this situation have come to this? Is this kind of robbery allowed in the ancient Futu clan?" His voice was loud and firm, echoing in the empty hall like the sound of a war drum.

Lin Wan'er then said, "We have traveled a long distance to visit you with sincerity and respect for the ancient Futu clan. But we never thought that as soon as we set foot on this land, we would be subjected to such unwarranted difficulties and malicious attacks. Is this how the ancient Futu clan treats guests who come from afar with good intentions? Is this the style of your great clan that has been passed down for thousands of years?" Her words were crisp and sharp, and every word was like a knife, piercing the hearts of the elders.

Ling Shuang crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "Hmph, if we didn't have some skills, we would have died long ago. This is so unfair and unjust. The reputation of the ancient Futu clan will be ruined." His voice was low and powerful, with a strong sense of dissatisfaction.

Ye Feng stood aside, gripping the weapon tightly in his hand, with flames of anger burning in his eyes, "You treat us like this, aren't you afraid that it will get out and be laughed at? I think this ancient Futu clan is nothing more than this!" His voice was full of provocation.

At this moment, Xiao Muchen's Dou Qi surged slightly, and the Dou Qi that was originally looming suddenly became turbulent. The powerful aura spread around like a surging tide, and the tables and chairs in the hall trembled slightly, making creaking sounds. The stone slabs on the ground seemed unable to withstand the pressure, and tiny cracks appeared. The strong pressure shocked the elders present.

"Such strength, yet still so young!" An elder couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes full of disbelief and a hint of fear. The elder's hair was gray, and his face was covered with wrinkles, but at this moment the wrinkles seemed to be deeper.

Xiao Muchen said proudly: "I, Xiao Muchen, can walk sideways in the Douqi Continent. I have experienced countless hardships and dangers, life-and-death battles. I have never been afraid of any strong enemy. Wherever I go, everyone is in awe of me. How could I be afraid of you, the ancient Futu clan? If you don't give me an explanation for what happened today, don't blame me for being rude! I will make sure you know that bullying me and my friends will cost you a heavy price." His words were loud and full of threats, and every word seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

The elders looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment. They originally thought that they could easily suppress these outsiders with the majesty and status of the ancient Futu clan, but they did not expect Xiao Muchen and others to be so tough, and their strength was far beyond their imagination. They began to secretly plan a countermeasure in their hearts.

At this time, an older elder spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse, "There may be a misunderstanding in this matter. The hall master has always been domineering and may have gone too far this time. But your fighting within the clan has indeed caused considerable impact and losses." The elder tried to find a balance between the two sides.

Xiao Muchen glared at him, "So according to the elder, should we just accept death and let others slaughter us? In the face of injustice and bullying, should we just swallow our anger in silence?" His voice was filled with anger and questioning.

Lin Wan'er said: "Elder, what you said is wrong. We have been seeking a peaceful solution, but the hall master did not give us a chance. He wants to kill us, how can we just sit there and wait to die?" Her eyes were full of disappointment and dissatisfaction.

Ling Shuang added: "If it weren't for our strength, relying on years of training and combat experience to hold on, we would have become prisoners by now, or even dead souls long ago. Is it so difficult to uphold justice and fairness in the ancient Futu clan?" His words were full of doubts about the ancient clan's way of doing things.

Ye Feng shouted, "Yes, we must be given justice! We cannot suffer this unjust accusation and unwarranted attack in vain." His voice was high-pitched and excited.

The elders fell into silence, and the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly tense. The silence was like a heavy mountain, weighing down people and making it hard to breathe.

After a while, an elder who had been silent said, "Why not listen to the clan leader's opinion first? This matter is of great importance, and it is not something we can decide easily." His voice broke the suffocating silence.

Everyone nodded in agreement. At this moment, they seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, hoping that the patriarch could come up with a proper solution.

Soon, the chief of the ancient Futu clan slowly walked into the elders' hall amid everyone's expectations. The chief had a dignified face and deep eyes, as if he could see through everything. He was wearing a gorgeous robe embroidered with the unique symbol of the ancient Futu clan, and every step he took seemed steady and powerful. He first looked around at everyone in the hall, then stopped his gaze on Xiao Muchen and others, with a look of scrutiny and thought in his eyes.

"I heard that you have suffered injustice in my tribe. I will investigate the matter thoroughly and give you a satisfactory explanation." The tribe leader's voice was steady and powerful, like an ancient bell, which made people feel inexplicably at ease.

Xiao Muchen clasped his fists and said: "Thank you, clan leader. I hope the ancient Futu clan can handle this matter fairly and give us innocence and justice." His eyes were firm and full of expectation.

The clan leader nodded slightly and said, "My ancient Futu clan has always valued its reputation and will never favor any party. If it is really the fault of someone in my clan, they will be severely punished." His words were so powerful that no one could doubt them.

Afterwards, the clan leader ordered people to investigate the ins and outs of the incident. While waiting for the results of the investigation, Xiao Muchen and others temporarily stayed in the ancient Futu clan. The environment where they lived was elegant, but everyone remained vigilant and never relaxed.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er discussed in the room.

"The ancient Futu clan is unfathomable, so we should be careful. Although the clan leader seems to be fair this time, no one knows whether there are other conspiracies behind it." Lin Wan'er said worriedly, her beautiful brows slightly wrinkled.

Xiao Muchen nodded, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, "Don't worry, if they dare to play any tricks, I will make them pay. With my strength and our unity, we will never be easily calculated by others."

On the other side, Ling Shuang and Ye Feng were also discussing.

"I don't know if this clan leader can be trusted. I always feel that things are not that simple. Maybe this is just the calm on the surface, and there may be a greater crisis hidden behind it." Ling Shuang frowned with a serious expression.

Ye Feng replied: "No matter what, we must be prepared for everything. We must not take it lightly and must remain vigilant at all times."

A few days later, the results of the investigation came out. It turned out that the hall master coveted the position of clan leader and wanted to win over Xiao Muchen and others. They disagreed, so...

In front of the whole clan, the clan leader severely punished the hall master, deprived him of his position and power, and imprisoned him to reflect on his mistakes. At the same time, the clan leader once again apologized to Xiao Muchen and others.

Xiao Muchen and his companions' status in the ancient Futu clan instantly rose, and everyone was in awe and curiosity about them. However, they knew that this was only a temporary calm. In this mysterious and powerful world, especially in the complex ancient Futu clan, there would be more unknown challenges and difficulties waiting for them in the future...
